Import Tips
• Document pole dimensions and species origin to prevent reclassification during customs exam
• Avoid bundling with hardware/fittings; accessories could trigger set classification under different headings
• Confirm no sapwood removal beyond rough stripping, as full sapwood processing may apply 4403 exclusions
